TSXV: NEV
VANCOUVER, June 23, 2015 /CNW/ - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corporation ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce that Pilot Gold Inc. ("Pilot Gold") (News - Market indicators) has reported initial drill results to the Company from the 2015 drill program at the Kinsley Mountain Project ("Kinsley Mountain", or the "Project") in eastern Nevada. Drilling within an area approximately 150 metres northeast of the high-grade Western Flank has intercepted high-grade gold in two key stratigraphic horizons, indicating the presence of a new mineralized zone that remains open to the east and west.
Drill highlights include:
- PK208: 2.34 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 9.1 metres (Dunderberg shale host),
and 3.46 g/t gold over 18.3 metres (Secret Canyon Shale host);
including 13.7 g/t Au over 3.0 metre
- PK210: 2.95 g/t Au over 13.7 metres (Secret Canyon Shale host).
The new intercepts are from the Dunderberg Shale and the Secret Canyon Shale which contain most of the known gold mineralization at Kinsley Mountain and are believed to underlie a significant portion of the Project area. Pilot Gold believes the previously-discovered Western Flank zone is not an isolated occurrence and there is a high probability of ongoing discoveries at Kinsley Mountain, and that these results confirm their exploration model for the discovery of new areas of mineralization.
2015 Exploration Program
The initial 2015 field program at Kinsley is currently budgeted at US$2.0 million, including up to 10,000 metres of reverse circulation and 1,000 metres of diamond drilling. Thus far, 4,300 metres have been completed in 9 holes and one lost hole, including three that were drilled for the purpose of conducting an induced polarization geophysical survey. The remaining program will focus on following up the new discovery and will also test a number of high-priority targets across the property. Exploration of this nature is drill-intensive and sequential; the program will be continually evaluated in light of data and interpretations from each and every drill hole.
On the basis of these results the 2015 exploration program is being modified to potentially expand and connect the new zone to the Western Flank and target the 'high-grade' northwest trending structures in the historical mine trend.

John R. Kerr, P.Eng., is the Company's designated Qualified Person for this news release within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") and has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this release. Drill composites were calculated using a cut-off of 0.20 g/t. Drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses. True widths of the mineralized intervals are interpreted to be between 30-90% of the reported lengths. Drill samples were assayed by ALS Chemex (ISO9001:2000) in Reno, Nevada for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge with an AA finish, or if over 5.0 g/t were re-assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish. For these samples, the gravimetric data were utilized in calculating gold intersections. For any samples assaying over 0.200 ppm an additional cyanide leach analysis is done where the sample is treated with a 0.25% NACN solution and rolled for an hour. An aliquot of the final leach solution is then centrifuged and analyzed by AAS. QA/QC for all drill samples consists of the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards and blanks into the sample stream, and the collection of duplicate samples at random intervals within each batch. Selected holes are also analyzed for a 51 multi-element geochemical suite by ICP-MS.
About Kinsley Mountain
Kinsley Mountain is a joint venture between Pilot Gold and Nevada Sunrise, with Pilot Gold, the operator, holding a 79.1 percent interest, and Nevada Sunrise, through a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, holding a 20.9 percent interest. Kinsley Mountain hosts near-surface mineralization similar to other Carlin-style, sediment-hosted gold systems. The Project consists of 475 claims on U.S. Bureau of Land Management land plus 5 leased patents totalling 9,575 acres (3,875 hectares) and hosts a past-producing mine with an extensive exploration database and numerous, untested gold targets.
Kinsley Mountain is an early-stage exploration project and does not contain any mineral resource estimates as defined by NI 43-101. The potential quantities and grades disclosed herein are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource for the targets disclosed herein. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in these targets being host to a mineral resource.
Further information on Kinsley Mountain is available in the recently filed NI 43-101 Technical Report entitled "Updated Technical Report on the Kinsley Project, Elko and White Pine Counties, Nevada, U.S.A." (the "Report"), effective March 1, 2015 and dated March 19, 2015, available on Nevada Sunrise's SEDAR listing at http://www.sedar.com and on Nevada Sunrise's website. The Report was prepared by Michael M. Gustin, C.P.G. of Mine Development Associates, Pilot Gold Chief Geologist, Moira Smith, Ph.D., P.Geo. and Gary L. Simmons, MMSA from GL Simmons Consulting LLC. Each of Messrs. Gustin and Simmons and Dr. Smith are Qualified Persons for the purposes of NI 43-101.
